Chapter Eight

Day Three: Jamaica

Too much coffee, a restless sleep, and a yoga session later I started fresh. The Oceanic Aphrodite docked in Jamaica on the third day signaling the official start of vacation in my opinion. Once I stepped off the ship and back onto land, my whole body came back to life. Even though the ship was huge, being cooped up and unable to get away did a number on me. I blamed that for my reactions to both Asher and Jack.

We wanted to split a cab to Braco Stables with Heather and Dan. I hadn’t been on a horse since I was a little girl, and I couldn’t wait. Of all the activities available to us, riding horses topped my list. Sure, I could do that back home, but this one led us through amazing trails and we could learn so much about Jamaica. I just loved the feeling of being boosted up onto such a majestic animal and trotting along a trail. I’d never felt more free.

And I needed that now.

The night before I did manage to meet up with Asher at the pool. I made him promise me he wouldn’t make fun of me about the ferret. He probably would have reacted the same way had it happened to him. I heard some other people talking about the ferret too. It had been loose in a studio onboard where pole dances were taught, so they needed to close the studio, and then it showed up at the day spa. I imagined a ferret sitting in a chair getting its nails painted, maybe some cucumbers on its eyes. No one knew how he managed to get on board, and the crew hadn’t been able to catch him.

Neither of us addressed Asher’s day out with Helena. He didn’t offer any details, and I didn’t ask. I was a tad embarrassed that I’d lost money gambling, too, so I just kept my mouth shut. Bringing up how upset I was that he ditched me to hang with Helena would only tarnish the trip, and I didn’t want to do that, especially with eight days left together. If I moped the whole time, I’d only end up regretting it.

The cab, a black minivan with a huge logo on the side, would have been roomy had we only had to share the cab with Heather and Dan. I really liked both of them and hoped we’d stay in touch with them after the cruise. Charlotte would think they were a hoot. But three more people managed to fit in it, making it a pretty tight ride.

Upon arrival, we checked in and found our tour guide, a young, thin gentleman with a smile so bright it blinded me. I’d rather have a smiley guide, though, than a crabby one.

There were nine horses with each group, but ours ended up a tad smaller with just six of us. The other couple who joined us introduced themselves as Maddy and Dana. The two women were married prior to the cruise setting sail, and this was their honeymoon.
